DO you often feel fatigued, sluggish, sad, anxious, or struggle with memory and concentration? Have you experienced unexplained weight changes? These symptoms may indicate thyroid disease. If you have them, consult your doctor.
Thyroid disease affects the small, butterfly-shaped thyroid gland at the neck's base. This gland regulates metabolism and energy use. Doctors diagnose thyroid issues through blood tests measuring thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). Treatment restores hormone balance, improving quality of life. Hypothyroidism is managed with hormone replacement, while hyperthyroidism may require medication, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery.
